Prospective lawyers who want to take the first steps in their legal careers are being invited to apply to Bedell Cristin’s student schemes in the Cayman Islands.
The firm runs an Articled Clerk scheme for qualification as a Cayman Islands Attorney and a scholarship scheme in the Cayman Islands, in line with similar schemes in its offices in Guernsey and Jersey.
The two-year, full-time Articled Clerk scheme involve rotations around legal practice areas, working with partners and fee-earners on legal matters on the path to formal legal qualification, while the scholarship schemes for students undergoing studies offer paid work experience, career advice and financial support.
Bedell Cristin’s Cayman Islands, Guernsey and Jersey offices include qualified lawyers who have graduated through the schemes across all practice groups, and Partner Richard Parry who leads the scheme in the Cayman Islands said that Articled Clerks and scholarship students made a tangible contribution to the business.
“We welcome the opportunity to bring people into our global business right at the outset of their legal careers – we benefit from their energy and the ideas that they bring, and they benefit from our approach which exposes them to quality legal work and interactions with clients from a very early stage,” he said.
“The lawyers within our firm who have graduated through student schemes are having a genuine impact on our practice areas, and we look forward to welcoming a fresh cohort across our offices into our legal student schemes in 2025.”
Current and former participants in Bedell Cristin’s student schemes include Articled Clerks Amber Watler and Stephanie Ebanks, as well as Associate Sophia McKenzie. Amber and Stephanie initially joined the firm as paralegals before progressing to the Articled Clerk scheme, where they are now gaining comprehensive experience across practice areas. Sophia, currently an Associate in the International Private Client department, completed her Articles of Clerkship with the firm in 2022 and brings over a decade of experience to Bedell Cristin.
